abstract = {We revisit a time in 2021 when people in the UK were coming to terms with an unwanted future characterised by chronic COVID-19 infection. Drawing on experiences of people who had already experienced COVID-19 infection, we explore how they made sense of newly perceived vulnerabilities and the possibility of reinfection. We highlight the work of speculating about the future, which involved making “educated guesses” based on embodied knowledge, and negotiating futures as understanding about different consequences of “living with COVID-19” moved in and out of view.},
